The Tufts University Economics Department sponsors research
seminars, lectures, and events throughout the year.
Energy and Climate Forum
Launched in Fall 2006, the Energy and Climate Forum was conceived as a means of
gauging interest in the topics of climate and energy, an area identified as being
particularly promising for development as a cross-university effort. Sponsored by the
Department of Economics, the Tufts Institute of the Environment (TIE), and the
Fletcher School's Center for International Environment and Resource Policy (CIERP),
it will consist of monthly seminars featuring both internal and external
speakers addressing critical issues surrounding energy and climate. Topics may
include science, engineering, economics, health and the environment, and
resources policy and politics.
